It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (October 16): 10/16/17

By November 13th, we have to be out of the apartment. We're about 1/4 moved into the house. We have enough stuff here to sleep, eat, and generally live. But there's still about half the kitchen in the apartment to move, some clothing, a couple bookshelves, and some books. Then there's everything else that's in storage.

It's nice to live somewhere again with wildlife. The birds have discovered that we've moved in and have put out food for them. We have seeds, peanuts, and suet out for our avian neighbors.

I bet the birds are very happy that you have moved in. That sounds like a feast for them.

As time and money permits, I plan to make the garden an even more bird friendly spot. It's the first yard I've had control over — all my previous places being either rentals or condos.

Nice assortment of books. Moving is such a pain. It seems like whatever you need is at the other place (or in a box that hasn't been unpacked yet). It will be nice when the whole move is accomplished. By the way, you have nice looking avian neighbors. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

Things are either at the apartment, in storage, or in the new garage. This coming weekend we're doing another big push to get things out of the apartment. We have to be completely out by November 13th. Once that's done we can worry about the stuff in storage.

The birds are great. It's so nice to have them visiting again. At the apartment I couldn't put out seed.

Congratulations on your new home! moving can be difficult at times, you don't realize how much stuff you really have until you start moving, lol. I bought Dorothy Must Die last summer, I still haven't had a chance to read it yet. Have a great week!

I've lived my entire adult life so far in homes of about 900 square feet. With a spouse and two kids and two cats, that comes out to about 150 square feet of personal space. While we have our books in storage, we're staring at a now mostly empty house. We have to buy furniture as we save up money. Our living room is still two weeks in, completely empty.

I bought Dorothy Must Die when it was brand new. It's just been sitting on my shelf waiting for the right time to read.

Wow! That's a lot of reading and reviews for someone in the middle of a move! I want to read some more cozies this winter! Will add the Bibliophile Mystery series to my TBR.

I have reviews written through the end of the year, so I have something to post even if I don't have time to write something. The Bibliophile Mystery series is hit or miss for me, but it's good enough to keep me coming back for more.

I hope the rest of your move goes smoothly. I moved just this April and found it very tough going.

We got the remaining furniture out of the apartment today. Now there's mostly just boxes to bring here from the apartment and cleaning. Then once the apartment is completely squared away and we've turned in the keys, we can focus on getting things out of storage.
